POSSIBLE SCHEDULE CONFLICTS• We CANNOT GUARANTEE that every IB Diploma
schedule will work.
• Generally, ‘singleton classes’ such as Vocal Jazz, Evergreen, Theatre, etc… may present scheduling complications. Students may have to choose between a subject they love and the IB Diploma.
• IB students (Course, Certificate, and Diploma) are not guaranteed their 1st choice of electives. LIST ALL ALTERNATE COURSES WHEN REGISTERING.
CHANGES FOR 2017-2018

BENEFITS OF IB CLASSES
• Students need to be prepared for the rigor of IB
• Student and teacher vs. IB NOT student vs. teacher

CHALLENGES OF IB CLASSES
KEYS TO SUCCESSTIME MANAGEMENT• It is true that strong, consistent effort is needed to succeed in IB.
This does NOT mean that classes are impossible, or that they are only for academic superstars!
• If students stay organized, break up the required work into manageable chunks and ask for help when needed they can be very successful in IB classes.
STAYING ORGANIZED• Pay attention to the calendar! Be aware of deadlines and pace
yourself to meet them.• Use your planner, phone, or other organizational tool to keep track
of all assignments.• Be aware of the “tough” times of the IB year – December, February,
and May.
KEYS TO SUCCESS
EXAMS• Study consistently throughout the entire course! Stay focused, it is a long year (or 2 for HL!)
• Know the rubric, and practice using it – ask your teacher what the “IB language” means on assessment questions and rubrics.
• Study Groups!! Get together with other students in your class and start working towards this early.
INTERNAL ASSESSMENTS• Know the specifics of the assignment• Keep up with the process deadlines• Understand the rubric – that is what the IB is looking for!• Understand how the assignment fits in with what the class is
doing – in IB it is all connected!
HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR STUDENT?• Plan a course sequence early. See later slides and the Planning Packet on the SHS IB website.
• Get them planning tools and model how you manage your time.
• Be sure they maintain balance in their life: social, school, free time.
• Nutrition and exercise are very important.
• Be sensitive to their challenges – hear them.
• Grow their independence and self-sufficiencysupport ‘choices and consequences’.
• Maintain open communication with them AND their teachers.
WHY DO IB?
• Work hard now – it opens doors for you…
• Figure out more of who you really are…
• College benefits…admissions, performance, advanced standing
